Hi all , there are soon to be some new Garrett T3 flanged integral gate exhaust housings in .63 and .82 a/r for the GT30R/GT3540R ranges . They are to be available in April 2006 but no details yet .

This will help those who want to use GT30R's and GT3540R's but without the external wastegate . The rumor is that the dump side will look something like the Fords XR6T's GT3540R housing .

More soon I hope , cheers A .

This has been in the spanners for well over 2 years now, it should have been done earlier, but GARRETT have been constantly changing cast manufacturers, thus the delay

As disco stated, late April/early May

The backorders on them are HUGGGGGGGGGGGGGEEE to say the least

Thanks

LOL , don't know ATM . The turbo is a long way off yet but with some recent research into GT3240's and some of Garrett's GT bush bearing turbos it seems there are 82mm GT40 compressors in 50 , 52 and 54 trims . I feel the 56T on Garretts GT3540R is a little big for the power or I should say torque I want so its a waste of turbine energy spinning something thats never going to achieve its potential . Far better to use the compressor wheel trim that suits my needs as it should be more responsive and increase turbine efficiency a bit . The $64 question is can the wheels be bought and is the back of the wheel the same as the BB version ie flat back or tulip shape and so on . Brett from GCG tells me they can drill/bore the centre hole if necessary so if the bush bearing shaft is smaller its not a problem . If I'm lucky and it bolts straight up I'm laughing .

Another thing to look into is this extrude hone process , the Americans say that noticable gains are had from extrude honing the turbine housings . This is not so much from a making the passages any larger but smoothing them out which aids the flow rate but not at the expense of gas speed . Its supposed to give a few more points of measurable turbine efficiency . Some of the turbo sellers will do this in the US at an extra cost so its an option if you buy from them . It could be done here but the set up cost is not cheap and I have seen the result of just a bit (lot) too much taken out .

I was told about these C117 compressors about 18 months ago , like the later GT40R has , and there is supposed to be new turbine designs on the way but when is anyones guess - they may already be out there in truck turbo's .

So I can wait and when the car eventuates the goodies get stashed away as turbo technology marches on and it all comes together .

I hope I can resist the temptation to play with the RB20 - maybe just an rb25 turbine housing - see I'm hopless !

Cheers A .

For Cubes hot off the press , Brett tells me there is an 82mm 52 trim BCCW18C compressor (59.1mm inducer) available . Just have to figure how difficult it is to fit and if HKS's idea of using the .60 a/r TO4S cover for 50 and 54 trim 82mm wheels is the go .

The amusing part is that with these GT40 compressors the inducer sizes are as follows .

50T = 58mm

52T = 59.1mm

54T = 60.3mm

56T = 61.4mm

So only 3.4mm the difference 50 to 56T though its supposed to make a very real difference in the way they load up the turbine particularly initially . As I have mentioned before the difference between a 52 and 56T GT30R is 500 rpm .

Cheers A .

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
